Hello,
I like to give you two options. Both restaurants are owned by same person Mr. Alberto Perez. Both are our favorite restaurants. One on the beach, one on the hill.
Please do not believe what Mexkimo is telling you about the Perez Family. Obviously he was working for them and he got fired.

La Palapa Restaurant. (Breakfast, lunch, diner).
Right on the beach, perfect view of the ocean and beach. Beautiful restaurant. (they will set a table on the sand if you ask them in advance). Reservations required. Phone 222 52 25.
Best for sea food and Mexican cuisine. First class, a must.

La Vista Grill. (For dinner)
On the hillside with the most spectacular view of the city of Vallarta.
Best for sea food and Mexican cuisine. First class, another must to experience.
Reservations required. Phone 222 35 70.

Best to you.

give you two restaurants, Cafe de les Artists at night, at Downtown
and for Cheap, try "El Coleguita" for sea food has many locations but the best will be on the Marina.

The Marina has an excellent view and also a good variety of restaurants
donÂ´t missed.

I'd be very cautious of getting any certification there on scuba. I'm not saying you can't or shouldn't, just be cautious.
There have been numerous instances in Mexico where tourists are "certified" for scuba only to find them selves in dangerous and life-threatening situations for which they were not properly prepared or trained for by the certifying instructor. A few have even died. Although, I heard and read of this more often in Cancun and Cozumel.
One time I was in Cabo and the resort had this young fellow come in with his girlfriend to show anyone that was interested how to scuba. About 6 or 8 of us thought it would be fun so we donned tanks and swam around one of the larger swimming pools after about 5 minutes of lessons. Then he handed each of us a paper that simply said "Scuba Certified" and that he signed. After that it was a sales pitch to van up north a ways the following morning to scuba where a lot of manta rays are known to be. All for the low cost of $100 USD.
I thought it more prudent to pass the opportunity up and I believe the others did, also.
Just be real careful.

Get certified at home and then you will be able to dive as soon as you get there. Why waste vacation on learning how to scuba dive when you could actually be doing it?

Well the best place i can think of is Paradise Burger! It is in the downtown area next to the beach and its nice, because u can hear the waves while u eat. Service there was GREAT also and they had bilingual waiters there! Heres the link to Paradise Burger! http://www.paradiseburger.com/index1.php About the Scuba diving thing not sure sorry! If you like animals and the jungle, you should check out the zoo there. My uncles are the owners of there and right now they have a baby lion that u can play and take pictures with. The Bengal tiger, White tiger, Pumas, and black panthers are pregnant right now so they might be born by the time you go. Just think about it, how cool is it that u have the opportunity to play with them?!?! Heres the link to their website in case your interested! http://www.zoologicodevallarta.com/

Well Good Luck on your trip and have fun!!!!!!!! =D
